HOLY SHIT did Buffoon Bush really vow "no attorney general" if Waterboarder doesn't get in?

[Proud2BAmurkin]

Talk about a GIFT to Democrats. They need to call Pissypants bluff on this and let him stomp his feet and refuse to nominate another one after crying about how no attorney general means no national security.

What fuckin buffoon.

1. His corrupted AG resigns, and he thinks not having an AG is the DEM'S fault?

Further evidence the man is living in a universe without reason or logic.

7. But, but, but

in his twisted mind Gonzo was a good man.

9. Gonzo didn't resign - he was forced out by those EVIL Dems.

Didn't you get the memo?

2. What a pantload.

The Attorney General is basically a domestic law enforcement official. "National security" does not require one at all; that's not the DoJ's job except with respect to criminal prosecutions in the federal courts, where Bush *doesn't* want to prosecute alleged terrorists. The real problem for Bush and his stooges is that if an AG agrees that waterboarding really is torture and therefore illegal, they couldn't do it any more, and worse, they could be prosecuted for it. We're better off with no AG at all than with one who'd give this demented junta a pass on torture.

3. I hope he vows to hold his breath until we do what he wants.

Then Pickles can send him to bed without din din.

5. Who cares? Having nobody would be better than the nitwits

that jr foists.

[malaise]

6. Bull

He's announce a recess appointment at Thanksgiving.

[Buzz Clik]

8. Bush's insulation is gone. He's getting a dose of reality, and he hates it.

He's handling it quite badly.

[zabet]

10. Geeee..

what a spoiled little frat boy.

[annabanana]

11. Acting Attorney General Peter D. Keisler is no prize

believe me.

[backscatter712]

12. Let him throw his shit-fit.

Further, I know it would be inconvenient for Congress, but during the normal recess periods, I don't suppose they could have one senator enter the chambers daily, and have the Seargent at Arms bring out the mace, so the Senate is technically in session, thus blocking recess appointments?

I vaguely remember a few Senators talking about doing this.
